Naukowcy badają instytucje gospodarcze i całe złożone zbiory instytucji, które warunkują i kształtują mechanizmy lub organizacje, takie jak „rynki” lub firmy. Analizują także instytucj...

We discuss the emerging economic systems of Poland and Hungary using the state capitalism approach and suggest some general lessons.
